Abstract

Genet was a pariah, an outcast, a wretch of European culture, someone who in Europe (and not only in Europe) was persecuted and imprisoned for his crimes, someone who never tired of goading, mistreating and cursing official European culture, a true critic of it. We must therefore conclude that it was official European culture that distanced itself from Genet, turning its back on him and thus on Hegel; and on itself. This would have been the true European tragedy: to have betrayed his own vocation, his destiny, which was to follow the path that Hegel traced.
